Do I work a job to save for a FHA loan?

I'm new to STR's and was wondering, from a big picture view : How do you run the numbers on a potential STR? 

The best thing you can do is to work with a realtor / property manager who's experienced doing Section 8 rentals and have good contacts over at CMHA to help you when issues inevitably come up.The process can sometimes take 2-3 months, but there are other programs like EDEN that can go a lot faster. 

Imagine making millions of dollars throughout your career and then having to pay Uncle Sam 30-50% every year instead of compounding that cash over time.This is exactly what real estate professionals have learned to mitigate.To reduce their taxable income, they buy a building every year, do a cost seg, and use depreciation to reduce their tax liability dramatically.Their personal wealth snowball grows much larger and much faster than their W2 counterparts who give most of their money back to the government each year.Following this strategy as a real estate professional is one of the best ways to end up with a much larger net worth at the end of your career.

These strategies faced virtually no competition, enabling us to see deals where others didn’t and do more volume.These were the 3 pivotal moves that transformed my wholesaling side hustle into a full-fledged business.Experienced investors, what were your 3 pivotal moves?

What documents do they require, what credit scores do they allow, how do they verify previous rental history, etc.?

But they do the same thing.

You can pass it on to the tenant or you can pay it. you should be following what every one else in the area is doing.

I know for most this isn't practical, but for the one's that can do it-- do it.

What strategies do you use to build strong relationships with private money lenders, and how have these connections influenced your investment success?
